Trinity House is the home of the Incorporation of Shipowners and Shipmasters, an organisation dating back to the 14th century. Successive generations of masters and members of Trinity House have been closely involved in the history and maritime development of Leith. Thomas Brown designed the present Trinity House in 1816 on the site of the medieval mariner\'s hospital. Trinity House highlights include the magnificent Convening Room running the entire length and breadth of the upper floor and a Pandora\'s Box of maritime memorabilia; Raeburn\'s painting of Admiral Duncan - a naval masterpiece and The Master\'s Room - a cosy room, still retaining its Georgian fixtures and furnishings.

Edinburgh
Edinburgh city is located on the Southern shore of the Firth of Forth with an historic central area, the unique feature of the mini-mountain of Arthur's seat in the middle and then some of the more disasterous post-war house estates in the suburbs. Although the centre of Edinburgh is only a mile and a half from the shore-line, it is the dramatic atmosphere of the Castle that dominates the city rather than the influence of the sea although the suburb of Leith is recommended for its bohemian mix of independent restaurants and pleasant dock-side areas.
